22, Chapter 22(1/2)

Ling Cen stayed on the set for a long time and slept lightly. He woke up after taking a nap for less than an hour.

He sat up and yawned and asked Lu Xiao: "What time is it?"

"It's less than three o'clock." Lu Xiao replied, putting the towel behind him. The bridge was cool, and Ling Cen had just woken up and couldn't catch a cold.

Ling Cen subconsciously grabbed a corner of the towel and smiled at Lu Xiao: "Shall we go home?" Lu Xiao nodded in agreement.

Ling Cen put away the cushion mode and returned to his seat. After exiting the bridge tunnel, he and Lu Xiao put on the simulator and masks respectively, and used automatic driving to dock.

At the ferry, Ling Cen got off the boat first and unfolded his wheelchair. The boat rocked slightly, and the boat shook slightly.

"Let's go, Mom must be anxious."

"Yeah." Lu Xiao stroked away the dirt on his body when he left the boat. Ling Cen smiled and kissed the side of Lu Xiao's face.

The boats of two couples also docked at the ferry, and they walked ashore and strode past them.

Ling Cen slowly pushed Lu Xiao from behind to return the way he came. When Lu Xiao accompanied him out, he told him that he was still not used to the speed of the hover car, so Ling Cen put the hover car into manual mode and controlled the speed and drove home.

Whenever the hover car stopped along the way, Ling Cen's eyes would always fall on his wedding ring involuntarily, and he had already taken it off after getting on the simulator.

Every time she lowered her eyebrows to look at his wedding ring, her beautiful face couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile. Lu Xiao could see it clearly from the passenger seat.

He and Ling Cen went out for a day and unknowingly overcame some of his problems of being unable to contact the outside world. He asked Ling Cen to find a better alpha. Ling Cen refused and insisted that he was already the best. Then he

Just be the best and don't let Ling Cen regret his decision.

Lu Xiao thought again of the movie about Ling Cen that he had not seen. His soft smile on the poster was not as good as the low-brow smile beside him at the moment.

Maybe he should think about how to make him smile like this all the time? This idea suddenly popped into Lu Xiao's mind.

He really started to think about Ling Cen's preferences. He is a star and is exposed to all kinds of banquets with well-dressed people every day. He should be eager to like gorgeous things...

With the financial resources of the Lu family, even if it only counts his own personal property, it is enough to support Ling Cen to buy these things at any time every day.

Ling Cen should know very well that he would not refuse his request. But he didn't seem to have asked for any jewelry, luxury cars or mansions. He wanted to buy him the sapphire ring today, but he didn't want it either.

He doesn't seem to like these things very much.

Celebrities attend banquets every day. This kind of life sounds similar to that of "nobles" like them, but the nobility still looks down on these stars. They think that there is an essential difference between themselves and them.

His parents are probably the same way. In their opinion, the most important thing for Ling Cen is to provide him with beauty to see if he can cure his illness...

My father should be fine, but the cabinet of pornographic underwear my mother prepared for Ling Cen already represented her contemptuous attitude. Later, she even asked Ling Cen to check her fertility as soon as she got married.

Lu Xiao frowned. In such an environment... coupled with his husband, Ling Cen was struggling in a place where he couldn't see the Lu family.

His parents were more concerned about him, but turned a blind eye to Ling Cen. He was a son and could not comment.

But now that Ling Cen has decided to choose him, he can't just sit back and ignore it. He must recover. He wants to protect his omega.

A fire rose up in Lu Xiao's chest, and the energy spread throughout his body, dispelling the cold and damp haze of the past year.

Ling Cen, who was driving next to him, had no idea about Lu Xiao's complicated psychological struggles. He only felt that his ring was dazzling and wanted to show it to everyone. He thought of meeting Mrs. Lu when he went back, and weakly asked Lu Xiao: "You can wait a moment."

Don't talk about whether the fast food I had with you for lunch was good or not..."

The ending tone was soft, not like a discussion but like... coquettishness. Lu Xiao was made to laugh by him: "Okay, if mom asks you, don't say anything. I'll answer it."

"Uh-huh, don't laugh at me." Ling Cen was much more satisfied, and was a little embarrassed not to let Lu Xiao laugh at him anymore.

Lu Xiao waved his hand to signal that he would stop laughing.

Ling Cen couldn't help but feel shy because of his child-like attitude, and a blush stained his cheeks.

The hover car returned to the Lu residence. Ling Cen parked the car in front of the main building. He helped Lu Xiao out of the car first, and then went to the garage to park the car. The maid quickly came over to say hello and took over: "Madam, I'll be fine."

Ling Cen held the key and wondered whether he should give it to her. Mrs. Lu chose the car and handed the key to him with her own hands. He should return it with his own hands...

Lu Xiao saw his confusion and reminded aloud: "Leave the key to her, the key will be placed directly in the garage."

Ling Cen nodded and handed the key to the maid: "Sorry to trouble you, thank you."

"This is what I should do, ma'am."

Ling Cen pushed Lu Xiao into the main building and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know the rules of the Lu family, so he always acted cautiously. After all, they were essentially people from two completely different worlds.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao was there to give guidance.

"You are back." Mrs. Lu was doing a manicure. When she saw them coming in and asking the manicurist to wait, she went to greet them.

"Mom, we came back late." Ling Cen lowered his head and was the first to admit his mistake.

Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment. It was already too late. What happened? Looking at her son, Lu Xiao tilted his head to signal her to say something.

Mrs. Lu understood and took Ling Cen's hand with a smile: "Oh, it's okay. When you go out for a walk, isn't it normal to stay a little longer when you encounter interesting places?"

"Thank you, Mom." Ling Cen said quickly.

Madam Lu took Ling Cen's hand and went to the living room, then asked the maid to push Lu Xiao.

"I'll do it." Ling Cen still withdrew his hand from Mrs. Lu's, smiled apologetically, and insisted on pushing Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao didn't seem to like others taking care of him. Ling Cen was afraid that he would reject him, so he could only insist on doing it by himself.

Mrs. Lu was considerate and didn't say anything. The three of them sat on the large sofa in the living room. The maid served black tea with exquisite snacks. Mrs. Lu personally handed Ling Cen a cup of black tea.

Ling Cen took it with both hands.

"Are you going to buy a ring?" Mrs. Lu caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and was so shocked that she blurted out the words before she had time to think.

When she saw Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao's hands had been covered by a small quilt, while Ling Cen's hands were blocked behind the wheelchair, which she only discovered now.

Moreover, when they just got married, Lu Xiao returned the ring she had prepared.

Mrs. Lu really didn't expect that Ling Cen would change Lu Xiao's mind so quickly and buy him a ring. She turned to look at Lu Xiao and made sure that her son also had a plain ring of the same style on his hand.

"Well, yes." Ling Cen couldn't help but smile. This was their wedding ring.

Mrs. Lu was so excited that she couldn't speak. She just said yes and asked Ling Cen to hand over his hand to her for a closer look.

Ling Cen was a little shy, but he still extended his hand to Mrs. Lu, who was sitting on the main seat, to take a closer look.

Mrs. Lu took Ling Cen's hand and took a closer look in the sun. Her smile was a little stiff, and the stiffness on her face was fleeting. Ling Cen, who spoke the kind words without hesitation, turned red at the tips of his ears and couldn't help but lower his head.

"Okay, kid, you've been tired for a long day. Go up and change some clothes." Mrs. Lu said considerately.

"Thank you, Mom." Ling Cen put down the tea cup, thanked Mrs. Lu, and wanted to leave with Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao also said: "Mom, I'll go up first." As he said that, he changed to a wheelchair.

Mrs. Lu quickly said: "Let your wife go up and have a rest, and you can watch TV with me for a while."

Lu Xiao frowned, and Ling Cen understood that Mrs. Lu wanted to chat with Lu Xiao.

"Then I'll go up first." Ling Cen stood up obediently, left the living room and went upstairs.

He just wanted to take a good look at his wedding ring...

As soon as Ling Cen left, Mrs. Lu couldn't wait to sit next to Lu Xiao and grabbed her son's hand.

Holding his fingertips to look carefully, Lu Xiao pulled his hand back and frowned: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Lu turned her head and glared at Lu Xiao fiercely: "What's wrong? You still ask me what's wrong, how many star coins did you buy this ring for?"

She was so angry that she forgot about Lu Xiao's poor health. She thought that Lu Xiao was still working in the military department, strong and reliable, and said angrily: "You are really good, what kind of ring is this? I'll give it to you."

If you don’t want what you prepared, just give this to your wife?”

Lu Xiao frowned. He really hadn't thought about it, but he and Ling Cen liked it very much, so they bought it.

Lu Xiao remembered that one of his subordinates broke up before getting married because the choice of ring could not satisfy his omega. His lieutenant told him about this...

"What about you? How much did it cost? It couldn't be less than 10,000 star coins, right?" Mrs. Lu asked helplessly. She felt that the ring was not too expensive when she saw the workmanship.

"21,000, a pair." Lu Xiao pulled out the terminal consumption list and said to Mrs. Lu. Fortunately, it was more than 10,000.

When Mrs. Lu looked at him, she fell down in anger. If it exceeds ten thousand, do I still have to give you a compliment? The wife of the next heir of other families will get a wedding ring worth tens of millions to one million. She

Before Lu Xiao got married, the wedding rings prepared for the two of them also met the specifications.

Even for ordinary residents of the Federation, a major event such as a wedding ring is worth a budget of tens of thousands of stars depending on family conditions.

Okay... Mrs. Lu reluctantly comforted herself. At least Ling Cen seemed quite satisfied, so she could still make amends.

The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the angrier she became, so she sat up and poked Lu Xiao's hand bitterly. The newly made manicure pierced the side of Lu Xiao's wrist. The sharp touch made Lu Xiao frown.

"Go up and tell Ling Cen that it's just a gift, not a wedding ring...it's just a gift..."

"Small gift, do you understand?" Madam Lu turned her wrist and gestured, trying to describe what she meant to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was at a loss. Mrs. Lu's attitude seemed to think that this matter was very important, which made him a little nervous. But he instinctively felt that this was not an important matter between him and Ling Cen... and he felt inexplicably relaxed.



"Wait for me here." Mrs. Lu reluctantly asked Lu Xiao to wait for her in the living room and walked to her room. After all, Lu Xiao was young and needed to be a mother.

Mrs. Lu comforted herself. She raised a son who was one hundred years old and had to worry about ninety-nine years. Lu Xiao had already made him worry-free... He who was outstanding in career had never made her worry at all before.

Although he is a little weak emotionally, he is a good match for Ling Cen. Ling Cen has a great temper and is a match made in heaven... Besides, she is still watching.

Mrs. Lu shook her head helplessly and took out a small jewelry box from the drawer of the dresser in the room.

In the jewelry box is a pair of wedding rings. The omega model is a pear-shaped diamond ring. It is beautifully cut and blue light flashes when you turn it.
